Introduction \u2013 Dec 29, 2025<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Britain\u2019s political establishment seem genuinely concerned about the rise of Nigel Farage\u2019s Reform Party and the media, which is now little more than a tool of indoctrination, now echoes that concern.<\/p>\n

It does so by claiming that Farage expressed \u2018racist\u2019 views \u2026 when he was schoolboy<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Elements in the media are also more than ready to dismiss the Reform Party as a threat to democracy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The UK media is also echoing claims that Farage is a dictator in the making who backs torture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If nothing else the publicity over Saddam\u2019s WMD and the Covid pandemic should have taught us that the mainstream media is not to be trusted. The UK\u2019s political establishment view Farage as a threat and they are using the media to malign him.<\/p>\n

While it’s true that there are serious questions about Farage’s position on Gaza and Israel, the fact the political establishment don\u2019t support him is reason enough to give him serious consideration. Ed.<\/p>\n

Third of Reform UK\u2019s council leaders have expressed vaccine-sceptic views<\/strong><\/h1>\n

A third of Reform UK\u2019s council leaders across the country have expressed vaccine-sceptic views, openly questioning public health measures that keep millions safe.<\/p>\n

The leaders of four of the 12 councils where Reform is in charge or the largest party \u2013 Kent, Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Durham \u2013 are among those in the party who have publicly criticised vaccinations.<\/p>\n

The health minister Zubir Ahmed, an NHS transplant and vascular surgeon, described their remarks as \u201cdangerous and utterly irresponsible\u201d, saying that politicians who cast doubt on vaccines risked exposing children and vulnerable people to harm.<\/p>\n

It comes after a controversial doctor, the cardiologist Aseem Malhotra, used his main-stage speech at Reform\u2019s conference in September to air a claim that the Covid vaccine had caused cancer<\/a> in the royal family, which drew immediate condemnation.<\/p>\n

Malhotra, a senior adviser to the vaccine-sceptic US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy, has long been publicly hesitant<\/a> about Covid vaccines, claiming they pose a greater threat than the virus itself \u2013 a view debunked repeatedly by factcheckers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reform\u2019s chair, David Bull, described Malhotra as the man who \u201cworked with me to write Reform UK\u2019s health policy\u201d. Vaccine hesitancy, however, appears to run throughout the party. Nigel Farage<\/a>, his deputy, Richard Tice<\/a>, and the Conservative defector Danny Kruger<\/a> have all raised doubts.<\/p>\n

The first Reform council leader, Linden Kemkaran, who runs Kent county council, suggested in September that the party should hold an inquiry into whether Covid vaccines were linked to cancer,<\/a> even though there is no medical evidence to back up the notion.<\/p>\n

She told Times Radio that Reform was \u201cnot afraid to debate topics that other people have decided must be silenced\u201d and that a link was \u201csomething we should talk about. Definitely\u201d.<\/p>\n
